SAN FRANCISCO. March l..The
ratification of the Panama Canal treaty
means that tho United States Is to eon
trol the entire trade' with the . Orient
There Is, of course; a powerful competl
tor in the carrying trade . across the
continent In the Canadian Pacific, which
Is fed by the Canadian - steamers, but
when the canal is completed the heavy
traffic will naturally seek the waterway
and the transcontinental lines will have
to be content with domestic business,
which is In reality very considerable.
Probably one of the most important ad
vantages In prospect for this Coast will
be In the Increase in shipbuilding.
American ahlpplng wUl naturally be In
creased to meet the requirements of the
ocean trade between' thia ooast and tha
Atlantic. The day of freedom from the
exactions of . the railroads la nearlng,
and cheap frelghta mean prosperity to
the Pacific Coast with ail her enormous
possibilities in agriculture and hortlcul
lure, .. , i
It la rather startling to And that but
three vessels of tha 373 clearing from
Pacific Coast , ports during . the oereal
year ending March n aquarea away witn
the American flag at their peaks. Those
three sailed from thia port neither Ore,
gon nor Washington furnishing a alhgle
one. i ' :
There may be aome curiosity to know
the names of h luoky three American
vessels . that obtained a grain charter
from this port during tha year.. One
of tho three waa the bark Homeward
Bound. This vessel waa not built at
any American shipyard on thia or the
Atlantic Coast She was formerly known
as the German ahip Otto Oildermelster,
originally bound from the Orient to Port
land under a wheat charter. She never
got as far north as Portland, and those
on board of her considered tnemseives
extremely lucky to reach any port. She
pulled up at last at San Francisco In a
terribly battered condition and was here
upwards of a year during which time
she waa largely rebuilt under a change
of owners, and because of such ex
tensive repairs wss able to obtain an
American reglater. , She waa then loaded
and sent to Europe, and Is now on her
wav back to this port from Antwerp.
The other two were the barkentlne
Puako and the schooner Alice McDonald,
both of which were built on this coast
and aent to Australia with grain, the first
named going out on her maiden voyage,
, Until within a few years Englishmen
have had a monopoly of the grain carry
ing trade ot this coast, and to a very
large extent that Is still true. But it is
not so true as it was a few years ago.
Germans have been contending for aome
of the trade and have been measurably
successful, particularly at the northern
porta
Later a still mors Important competi
tor has come into the field and with a
much better ahow of success, because
backed by a liberal government subsidy
for every mile sailed in going or coming
back, with or without cargo. The only
competition against auch a backing
meana a cut In rates that ahlpowners
dislike to meet
The new competitor is the Frenchman.

trade in the past three years have been

The different flags have been observed
on the t7Veesels that have sailed away
from this coast with flour and , grain
since July 1, ISO!!. Considerably imore
than One half of these carried the Brit
ish Aug. the exact number under that
flag being 164.
Sau Francisco has been especially at
tractive, to French shipowners. .While
there were 68 British ships cleared from
this port this year, there were also 48
French veswels. which was certainly giv
ing the Britishers a pretty close rub.
Portland cleared It French vessels and
the Sound porta seven. Some of the
French vessels loaded at these Northern
ports were drawn from San Francisco.
.
; The fire losses on this Coast from De
cember to March 1 foot up over 33,000,
000, an Increase over the same period
last year of 91.193.627. This great In
crease can only result In one way should
the ratio continue for any length of
time, and that will be In a considerable
raise In the Insurance rates. So far In
March the losses are much In excess of
the entire month of lust year.
Among some of the numerous losses
for which Insurance companies have been
called upon recently may be mentioned
Welnstock, Lubln A Co., Sacramento,
Cal., $600,000; Victoria Dock. Portland.
Ore., $360,000; Salt Lake Hardware Co.,
et al., Salt Lake City, $160,000; Lip man,
Wolfe Co.. et al., Portland. Ore.. $260,

co. $60,000; Smith Bros., et al., Oakland,
Cal., $60,000; Belllngham Lumber &
Shjngle Co.. Fairhaven. Wash.. $60,000.
These losses In addition to the usual
number of minor losses are mtiktng to
tals that have never been experienced
on this Coast during this season of the
year. . - ;

The gunboat Concord underwent a dock
trial on Tuesday and the steam engineer

It was the Intention of tha Executive

The Mayor, however, took occasion to
deliver a- body blow at the contractors
who asked for. extensions of time.

contractors neglect to All their oontracts

Property in this vicinity will no doubt
Increase ten fold In value because of this.
Iff o Xlok to Make.
Speaking about the week. Mr. Orlnd
stafT of OrlndBtaff & Blaln, said: l
"Wo have no kick to make at all.
Business Is very good. We are not get
ting rich In a hurry, but are making a
comfortable living. Real estate In Port
land is booming. There are demands for
all ( kinds of property, especially resi
dence. As to rentals, why there are all
kinds of demands for big houses, cot
tages and flats. People come to me
asking for dwelling houses, they tele
phone and they use the faails. As an j
example or me pig oemana i only nave
to say that one of my tenants In a flat
on Twelfth street signified his Intention
of moving out. He no sooner said so to
a neighbor than I was besieged with 27
anxious dwelling seekers who bid against
each other trying to get the flat How
ever, I had already promised It. .
"As to the sale of residence property,
extravagant prices are offeredyet It
is hard to get suitable locations. There
lire a great many estates In Portland
i who own many lots yet do not build on
them. If the trusteos of these estates
would build, then the great demand
could at least be satisfied."
lorn Biff Sales.
One of the big sales of the week was
that made by D. C. O'Reilly to John H.
Peterson of the row of frame buildings
on Washington street near Tenth. The
purchase price was 330,000. Mr. Peter
won will erect a three-story brick build
ing on the property, the first floor to be
store rooms and the upper two office
rooms. Orlndstaff & Blaln acted . as
agents. " ,
Two lots at the northeast corner of I
Seventh and Rurnslde streets were sold
to Joseph Matschlner by P. C. - Baker
for 320,000. The property Is under five
years' lease to a clay manufacturing
company which is about toerect several
bulldlugs on tlie corner. When this lease
expires the new' owners will erect .an
other building on the location.
Work has already been commenced on
the site for the four-story brick building
to be erected on - Ninth and Irving
streets by I). C. O'Reilly, tlie cost of
the building wul be 30.000.
J. W. Cook will erect a three-story

Never better, is the verdict of the real
estate dealers of this city for the-realty
market for the past week. All are en
thusiastic because of the condition of
the market . Residence property wag the
special feature for the week. There was
also a" great demand for outside property
and suburban property had a great many
outsiue buyers. The great Influx of
strangers into the city has oooasloned
a "great demand tor residences and many
who cannot buy are offering big bonuses
so that they may 'rent residences In. a
good locality.'
One of the biggest 'featurea of th
week, which developed yesterday, is the
great Impetus given to St. Johns proo-
"erty by the decision of the Port of Port
land Commission to purchase tha prop-
j erty in that town offered by Hartman,
Other Sales.
Mrs. E. Capron will erect a two-story
dwelling at the Northeast corner of
Tillamook and East Twentieth streets,
at a cost of 35,600. .
Thurman & Gringer have decided to
erect a two-story frame structure on
the Northwest corner of Flake and Caw-
son streets at a cost of 36,000.
D. W. Crowley will erect three two-
story dwellings at isavier and Twenty-
eighth streets at a cost of 33,600. '
The excavation for the foundation of
the two-story brick building 60x100 feet,
which the Willamette Iron works is to
erect at the comer of Fourth and Gll
san streets, was begun , the early part
of the week.
A strip of land 1,400. jfeet long and I
750 feet deep, located near tne veneer
factory at St. Johns was sold to the
tort of .Portland Commission by Hart
mait Thompson and Powers for 310 per
front foot, which amounts to about 314.
OOOv The- Port -of -Portland -Commission
will use this as a drydock site. Al
though the sum involved, is not very
much, yet considering the results which
will follow It is considered a great sale.
The selection of this location as a dry
dock site will have the. effect of In
creasing the value of' the property In
at. Johns. It will also bring many labor
ing people there, so that the erection of
many residences and -store buildings Is
only the question of weeks. As the dry
dock wlli be run by electricity, many
manufacturing plants, will no doubt lo
cate at ' St. Johns, so that they may
derive aome benefit from this - power.
The price of the sale Is considered very
low, but the owners will no doubt rea
lise a great deal from their own prop
erty in that vieinity. . V
